To clarify the association of sleep duration with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, and further estimate the population attributable fraction (PAF) for the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to inappropriate sleep duration among US adults, we included data of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2014 by linkage to the National Death Index until December 31, 2015 in a prospective design. Cox proportional hazards models were used for multivariate longitudinal analyses. The Pooled Cohort Equations methods was adopted to calculate the predicted 10-year CVD risk. In the current study, sleep <5 h or longer than 9 h per day were significantly associated with elevated risks of all-cause mortality, and the multivariable-adjusted HRs across categories were 1.40 (95% CI, 1.14–1.71), 1.12 (95% CI, 0.91–1.38), 1 (reference), 1.35 (95% CI, 1.12–1.63), and 1.74 (95% CI, 1.42–2.12). Similarly, the HRs of cardiovascular mortality across categories were 1.66 (95% CI, 1.02–2.72), 1.15 (95% CI, 0.77–1.73), 1 (reference), 1.55 (95% CI, 1.05–2.29), and 1.81 (95% CI, 1.09–3.02). Under a causal–effect assumption, we estimated that 187 000 CVD events (PAF 1.8%, 0.9% to 2.3%) were attributable to short sleep duration and 947 000 CVD events (PAF 9.2%, 6.4% to 11.6%) were attributable to long sleep duration from 2018 to 2028. This study informed the potential benefit of optimizing the sleep duration for the primary prevention of CVD in a contemporary population.
